CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON CENTAURO IN LISBON

Like: Everything is good.

The staff told me that I had to buy an electronic toll sensor, but it was actually unnecessary.

Centauro staff was very rude and unprofessional. We have issues with returning our deposit. They are not returning the deposit. There was a fuel strike/crisis when we hired the car and it was with 20 percent of petrol. We returned with 30 percent and they have charged us the fuel costs, though noted on the Contract. I have no support from Centaurus on this issue though I opened the case but they are not communicating. I feel cheated and will never use the service again. Is there a way to get our money back - they took from us over 70 euros.

Quite a queue when picking up the car, but the process was smooth. They didn’t aggressively push for insurance.

Like: The web site was east to use in ordering the car. The agent at pick up was friendly and helpful. Car was clean and in good condition. I would use them again for a rental car,

The offsite pickup went smoothly, rental agent I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Additional insurance was suggested but without pressure. Drop off location only 10 minutes from Lisbon airport but can be tricky to find on return. Drop off process was very excellent, check-in was efficient and quick and shuttle service worked well. No complaints.

No problems experienced with this service, worked well and as expected. Any questions I had about pick-up shuttle service at the Lisbon airport were answered promptly. Overall very happy.

1. When picking up the car, it's not at the airport; you need to find a meeting point to wait for the company's shuttle bus. This information was not mentioned in the order, so we had to ask around to find the company. 2. Unreasonable charges. I used the highway with an ETC, showing a toll of 1.35 EUR, but the car rental company charged me a 40 EUR fine. In the end, I was charged several hundred yuan extra without any explanation. After returning home, I had to contact after-sales multiple times to resolve this. 3. When returning the car, the staff were overwhelmed and very impatient, providing poor service. In the end, I recommend choosing a big company for car rental. Although it's a bit more expensive, at least the service is good and they don't make random charges. I will never rent from such small companies again.

We can't say anything bad about Centauro. We had a very long wait at customs at the Lisbon airport, and they still waited for us, over 2 hours past our scheduled pick up time. The car was spotless, the agents were helpful (make sure you get someone to sign off on your papers before you leave). Our first hotel we stayed at was awful, and during the night, one of the many drunk guests jumped on the hood of the car, denting it, and putting a dent in the side as well. We called Centauro right away to let them know what happened, and they marked it in our file. The car was still drivable, so we continued on our trip. When we returned the car, the agents weren't even aware of what had happened, but took a look over everything, asked us a few questions, and ultimately did not charge us for the dents. We had purchased third party insurance anyways, so we weren't worried, just annoyed that we would have to go through the hassle. But the Cantauro agents were very understanding, and extremely kind. We would recommend them to everyone!

Like: Friendly staff no hard upsell

Terrible. They didn’t tell us that apparently you need some sort of box / tag in the car to pass certain roads. There are no signs at all on the roads and absolutely no way you would have a clue you need this tag and where.
